So, now that we’re almost 5 months away from the day, it’s time to get rolling so we’re not rushing, or worse yet, not finishing projects all together!

It’s easier than it looks!
I just love this card – it’s a stunner and is pretty simple to do! The secret is using embossing to make the watercoloring super easy! If you want to get your kids involved with the crafting this year, this could be a great little project. Just emboss the ornaments for them and show them how to use a small brush with watercolors and let them have fun being creative with their color choices!

The card base is super simple too! A little ink blending, some splatter and a sentiment. Then, you just add some swirls behind the ornaments and you’re done! It would be easy to batch up these beauties and make a dozen or two to send this season.

I enjoyed watching the video on how you created this pretty card with the ornaments.
Great video… enjoyed the hop. For some reason, the link to #16, Sami Williams, doesn’t work. 🙁
These are great. Love the colors you chose.
Love the ornaments card, well done. Thanks for sharing.
